I have waited and wanted Cord and Rory's story when we were first introduced to them way back in the first Hope Valley book, and OH MAN, the wait was well worth it.
I must sound like a broken record because I keep saying it after every book this author writes, but this is the best book of the series!! There is something about an unrequited love story that hits me straight in the feels, and this was no exception. I teared up more times than I could count, especially when Rory would lay her heart and soul on the line for Cord.. And oh my gosh that man. Cord has loved Rory ever since he first saw her (even though it took him a while to admit it to himself) but he made a mistake by casting her aside in a false sense of loyalty to someone else, and the way he fought for her, that man made my heart melt!!
I don't want to ruin the story for others who haven't had the chance to read it, but there's an amazing twist of events in the beginning of the book, and we got to see even more incredible sides to Rory. She is everything you want in a heroine: strong, opinionated, loving, has a heart of gold, and fiercely protective of those she loves. And the snippets that we got with her and her parents were hilarious!!
I'm also loving the element of suspense that this series is bringing! I usually don't read romantic suspense, but Jessica knocks it out of the park every single time!!
Another knockout from this amazing author!! Do yourself a favor and read this book (as well as the entire series!!) You won't be disappointed!!

A must Read!
I'm so in love with what Jessica has written here with Cord & Rory's story. It exceeded my expectations! She delivered with the emotional pull and the continuity was freaking spot on.Rory knew the instant Cord walked into the bar he was her forever. The one man she'd been waiting for. They became friends. Best friends.When Cord shut Rory down she was beyond devastated. She'd pinned all her hopes and dreams on him and he walked away. A decision he has agonized over for the last four years. The best thing that ever happened to him and he let his past dictate his future.When Cord was hurt it was Rory that was there. She stayed by his side and she never left. Until that one moment in time when he woke briefly and destroyed all her dreams when he uttered another woman's name.Cord is done now. He's done with her ignoring him. And he's taking what's his, what he should have done four years ago. Now he just needs to get past the walls that she has erected around her heart and her head.Zach a kid in the foster system, one of the forgotten ones is the standout for me in this story. When he enters the picture it's like an arrow straight to the heart. His story is heartbreaking. And it's this boy that brings them all together. The acceptance into their lives they do with no second thoughts. He's one of them now. They just need to convince him that he's theirs.Get ready to Cry. And I mean hard.It's a story of second chances and opening your heart up to the possibility of getting your happiness. Of having someone have your back no matter what.A huge yes from me!
